Rebirth: Infinite Train

Chapter 77: Mermaid in Danger

For fear of slowing down Old Lady Ma's speed, Lin Yaoyao did not struggle.

So she let Old Lady Ma carry her to the beach.

"Hoo! Get the boat out!"

"No, the water here is too shallow. The boat will run aground. Let's move a little further into the water."

This time it was Lin Yaoyao who pulled Old Lady Ma towards the deep water.

The skeletons behind him had already chased to the beach. A large number of white bones suddenly appeared, scaring the monkeys in the coconut grove and causing them to flee in all directions.

After Lin Yaoyao took out the boat, the two climbed on board and looked back.

The skeletons piled up in front of the waves and retreated with the waves.

They dare not touch the sea water!

He could only move his skull and hands and his jaw opened and closed.

Lin Yaoyao, who didn't understand what they were saying, thought their curses were very dirty.

Lin Yaoyao and the other person just sat on the boat, watching a few skeletons on the opposite side jumping up and down in anger.

He threw the fireball even though he knew he couldn't hit it.

"Puff~" The fireball fell on the sea and went out without even a splash.

'Slightly, slightly, slightly~'

Lin Yaoyao was making arrogant faces in the distance, not caring about the jumping looks of these skeletons.

He turned around, turned on the motor and drove into the sea.

"Ouch, my dumpling skin!"

Old Mrs. Ma gathered the dumpling skins together and looked at them with heartache as they were scattered in the water due to the shaking of the boat.

"Grandma Ma, let's talk."

Lin Yaoyao stood on the deck, looking at Old Lady Ma calmly.

Old Mrs. Ma’s expression showed that it had finally come.

"I understand, I understand, girl, don't worry, everyone in this world has secrets, they can be big or small.

The reason why I, Ma Xiulan, have lived to this age is that I know what to say and what not to say.

I still say the same thing, if I betray you, let me be struck by lightning and my heart of faith collapse."

Lin Yaoyao nodded heavily. "Okay, if that's the case, then let's give it a try. But I'll be frank with you. If you dare to betray me, I will kill you first, even if it means I'll be struck by lightning."

Old Mrs. Ma laughed, "No problem! Oh~ it's better to open it, so that everyone can feel good."

Lin Yaoyao also laughed. She also wanted to feel better, so she had that tentative attitude and wanted to take a gamble just now.

She knew that if she didn't want her secret to be exposed, the best way was to be a loner.

But Lin Yaoyao had a hunch that a lone traveler would not be able to go far on the train.

Rather than hiding it in the future, it is better to be frank at the beginning.

Of course, it was impossible for Lin Yaoyao to tell Old Lady Ma everything. The most she could do was to let her know that she had a space to store things.

For example, the manor, and her true form, Lin Yaoyao would not let her know these.

As for the side quest she just accepted, Lin Yaoyao planned to tell her after they formed a real team. If they could stay together harmoniously until the seventh day...

Lin Yaoyao now remembered her side quest and opened the task bar to see the side quest she had triggered.

[Side Quest: Mermaid Love! ]

[There is a legend in the star sea that if you get the inner pearl of the mermaid queen, you can be resurrected from the dead and never enter the cycle of reincarnation.

This has led to countless humans going to great lengths to enter the starry sea.

Finally, the mermaid queen's inner pearl disappeared and she fell into a deep sleep.

Find the inner pearl of the mermaid queen and wake her up! 】

What does this have to do with Mermaid Love?

Find the inner pearl, then can you tell me where the inner pearl is?

Lin Yaoyao almost tore through the task interface, but couldn't find any information about finding the inner pearl.

No reward information was found either.

In other words, for this side quest, she didn't know how to find the inner pearl, nor did she know what the reward would be after completing it.

Lin Yaoyao: If you do this, I will lose motivation to complete it!

She simply closed the interface and took out the fishing net. She hadn't caught any fish today.

The first net was cast and a mermaid was caught.

Lin Yaoyao: Smileヾ(?`Д′?)?彡

It's you again!!!

Turning to look at Old Lady Ma, "You didn't kill her?"

Old Ma coughed awkwardly and turned to work on her dumpling wrappers. "Why would I kill her?"

Lin Yaoyao looked at the unconscious mermaid in her arms, thought about her side quest, and sighed resignedly.

"I really owe you."

Place the mermaid on the deck and lower your head to treat her.

I don’t know who she fought with last night, and she is covered with bruises again.

This time Lin Yaoyao did not stop and healed her wounds completely. Apart from some scars, there was no sign of injury.

When the mermaid woke up and saw Lin Yaoyao, she started crying in grievance, just like a lost child seeing her family.

The pearls fell down with a crackling sound.

Old Mrs. Ma stopped rolling the dough. She dropped her rolling pin and ran over to pick up the pearls.

"What are you doing! What are you doing! I saved the people and you come to pick up pearls, go make your dumplings."

Lin Yaoyao drove Old Lady Ma away, picked up all the pearls, weighed them and found that they could fill a small bag. She felt that saving the mermaid was a good deal.

Old Mrs. Ma was muttering behind the scenes, saying nothing more than that Lin Yaoyao was stingy.

The mermaid in front of him was crying and hiccuping, but not a single pearl fell.

Lin Yaoyao: Stop crying all the time. It’s not convenient to ask questions when you’re crying like this.

"After you've finished crying, get off the boat. We've already settled the payment."

The heartless Lin Yaoyao drove people away after picking up the pearls.

The mermaid glanced timidly at the ruthless Lin Yaoyao, and then at Old Lady Ma who felt sorry for not being able to pick up her pearl.

In the end, he could only jump into the water feeling aggrieved and sobbing.

After everyone had left, Old Lady Ma spoke.

"She was crying so sadly, and you didn't even ask what happened."

Lin Yaoyao rolled her eyes. "If you were so curious, why didn't you ask just now?"

Old Ma pouted and said, "I won't meddle in other people's business."

"So I like to meddle in other people's business?"

Old Mrs. Ma choked. She really wanted to say, "Isn't it because you like to care that you saved her and saved the mermaid twice?"

But she didn't dare say it out loud. After all, she was also one of the beneficiaries, and it would be a bit ungrateful to say it out loud.

Lin Yaoyao turned around and asked Old Lady Ma, "I haven't asked you yet, didn't you shout at her to kill her yesterday?"

Old Mrs. Ma replied as she skillfully wrapped a big, plump dumpling with even folds.

"I've already said that I, Ma Xiulan, have a clear distinction between gratitude and resentment. The reason I didn't kill her is naturally because our grudge has been resolved."

Lin Yaoyao sneered, "I guess the grudge is settled now that I took her pearl."

"Why do you say such harsh words after taking her pearls? She owes me this. You disturbed my sweet dreams at night. Do you know how precious sleep quality is to the elderly?"

Lin Yaoyao didn't care about Old Lady Ma's unreasonable arguments.

She was about to cast a second net.

There were shouts coming from a distance.

"She's there!! Quick! Get off the net!"

It turned out to be a fleet.

Three small wooden boats and seven rafts.

She is besieging the mermaid who just got off her boat.

On the leading wooden boat stood a middle-aged man about 1.7 meters tall, with a typical cherry-like samurai hairstyle, wearing a loose samurai robe and wooden clogs, his eyes fixed on the mermaid rolling and struggling on the water.

From the Sakura Country?

There were a few men standing sporadically on other wooden boats and rafts. One of them was holding a yellow talisman paper in his hand. He was tall and slender, and dressed in a white ancient Chinese-style robe. A wave of energy emanated from the talisman paper in his hand.

Lin Yaoyao was just wondering why the mermaid didn't dive to the bottom of the sea to escape the disaster, when she saw a talisman light up behind the mermaid, preventing her from diving.

The two men each held a fishing net in one hand and completely caught the mermaid.

The roar coming from her mouth was not as gentle as when she spoke, but was filled with sorrow and despair.

Seeing the mermaids caught in their nets and a few human heads emerging from the water, it turned out that there were only a handful of people on the boat.

Lin Yaoyao's ship and their fleet met head-on and looked at each other in bewilderment.

She put her hand on the motor and stopped moving, feeling the situation was awkward.

At this time, Old Lady Ma threw down her big fat dumpling and took out her walking stick. Her face no longer had the relaxed look of the past, and her eyes were fixed on the middle-aged man in warrior costume who was leading the group in front of her.

Lin Yaoyao realized later that Old Lady Ma should also be from a flower-growing country, so it was normal for her to hate men who like cherry blossoms.

But Lin Yaoyao didn't expect that she would shock the other party quite a bit.

A mid-level wooden boat that is slightly larger than the small wooden boat, with a hard and heavy stone house and a large yellow umbrella on top.

A blue-haired woman who was so beautiful that she didn't look like a real person was standing on the boat. She was wearing a suspender and a short skirt. Her already fair skin looked as white as a doll against the green clothes.

As mentioned before, most of the passengers on the train are from parallel worlds, and they are from all eras.

Many of the members of the fleet led by Yoshida, including himself, were not from modern times.

"This is...is this a banshee?"

"How can anyone have green hair? Is this a monster?"

"European?"

"Europeans don't have green hair either."

“Isn’t it dyed?”

"This monster is really pretty."
